About Gorde
I like it more than the normal one
In the heart of Bilbao's Casco Viejo, Gorde is an old-school tasca where you can order individual tortillas made to order in several flavours. The appeal is simple: everyone gets their own freshly made tortilla, and the classic tortilla de cebolla costs €3.80.
The onion version is thick and dense, very classic
, set right at the limit
before turning into potato cake; @aritz_tabuyo likes the texture but wanted the onion cooked down more. The tortilla de jamón y queso wins: I like it more than the normal one
, less liquid, melted cheese, though the ham gets lost behind the cheese
.
The verdict from @aritz_tabuyo: a correct tortilla, especially for anyone who likes it firmly set; the ham-and-cheese is the better order. In the comments, the argument is all about onion versus no onion.

The menu they tried
-
Onion tortilla
individual
“Classic, thick and creamy with a set texture right at the limit before becoming bizcocho de patata. Tasty but not his favourite; the onion could have been cooked down more.”
3.80 € -
Ham and cheese tortilla
individual
“Liked it more than the regular one, with good thickness and less liquid. The cheese is quite strong and the ham gets lost behind it.”
